About Hangzhou
West Lake
These are the words composed by the famous Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo (960-
1127). In this poem, he compared the West Lake to Xi Zi, one of the four beauties in
ancient China. These poetic sentiments depict the charm of the lake which has always
been a beautiful and romantic spot since ancient times. West Lake is surrounded by
mountains on three sides and divided into the North Inner Lake, the Yuehu Lake, the West
Inner Lake, the South Lake, and the West Outer Lake by the Bai Causeway, the Su
Causeway, and the Yang Causeway. The Solitary Hill between the North Inner Lake and
the West Outer Lake is the largest natural island. In addition, there are three man-made
islands in the West Outer Lake: the Lesser Paradise Island, the Mid-lake Pavilion, and the
Ruangong Islet; and two famous pagodas by the lake: the Leifeng Pagoda to the south
and the Baochu Pagoda to the north. Nowadays, West Lake is one of the top ten scenic
areas in China, and was listed as a world cultural heritage site by UNESCO on June 24th,
2011. West Lake is famous for the romantic legends and intoxicating scenery.
